On the 15th day of the first month, they left Rameses. That morning after Passover, the people of Israel marched out of Egypt with their arms raised {in victory}. All the people of Egypt saw them.
Joseph did what Pharaoh said and gave his father and brothers land in Egypt. It was the best land in Egypt, {in the eastern part of the country} in the land of Rameses.
The Egyptian people decided to make life hard for the people of Israel. So the Egyptians put slave masters over the people. These masters forced the Israelites to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses for the king. The king used these cities to store grain and other things.
The people of Israel were leaving with their arms raised in victory. But the Lord caused Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to become brave. And Pharaoh chased the people of Israel.
